Developing a Daemon for Mac with Qt and C++
-
Hi,
I am trying to develop a dummy daemon for Mac OSX which should launch on startup and should support 'Stop,Resume, Pause'. For now, I have developed a code which is simply opening a text file and logging some data on it when the service starts. Unsure on how to stop it. Any advice on the best approach possible would be appreciated. Here is a little snippet.
@
void AppService::start()
{
try
{
QCoreApplication *app= application();
qDebug()<<"Service has started!";
qDebug()<< app->applicationDirPath();FILE *t; pid_t pid=0; pid_t sid=0; pid=fork(); if (pid < 0) { exit(1); } if(pid>0) { std::cout<<"Service has started!"; exit(0); } umask(0); sid=setsid(); if(sid <0) { exit(1); } chdir("/"); t=fopen("/Users/gecdelivery/projectfile/logfile.txt","w+"); close(STDIN_FILENO); close(STDOUT_FILENO); close(STDERR_FILENO); while(1){ sleep(1); fprintf(t,"Service is running!\t Time %s\n",dt); fflush(t); } fclose(t); }
